The Department of Canadian Heritage, on behalf of the Government of Canada and the LGBT Purge Fund, is inviting teams of professional artists, landscape architects, architects, and other urban design professionals to submit their credentials and examples of prior work for the first part of a two-phase design competition to create the LGBTQ2+ National Monument.
Prominently located in downtown Ottawa, with views of key federal institutions, this monument will be a place where visitors can learn about the historical and present-day discrimination faced by LGBTQ2+ people in Canada, with particular reference to the LGBT Purge, and celebrate their achievements in their fight for equality. The Department of Canadian Heritage is therefore seeking design teams to create a moving, bold and thought-provoking monument that will provide a space for remembrance, education, celebration and inspiration.
